Photo Outing - Amanda
Posted by Hong | Under Photography 摄影
-Passage of time-
Model: Amanda Morene
Location: Heritage Station Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Finally i get to join the photo session with Amanda! Been waited for this session quite some time. <3
This was my second time photo shoot at Heritage Hotel KL, the first time is with the gorgeous Kat.
Since i already been to the shooting venue few months ago so i can roughly think of some idea what and how to shoot before the session start. Compare with the previous session there, bunches of clueless shots made me receive many critical critiques all over the forums…
Beside the adorable Amanda, secondary objective for this photo session is do the power testing with my latest weapon, The Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G. This lens is well known as one of the sharpest zoom made by Nikon. I really couldn’t believe the clarity and the sharpness, it is really that good. And not to mention the auto focus speed is lightning fast as well.
Alrite enough of craps, here are the photos.

Trexi
Posted by Hong | Under Figures 模型, Photography 摄影
Guess you guys already noticed that recently i’ve been shooting a lot of girl portraits and events.
I wanted to concentrate my photography on portraitures, but photography isn’t only about human portraits. I reached a point where i don’t really know how to do better and improve my shooting skills, and it’s time to get out of the box and do some breakthrough. As what suggested from a friend of mine, try to do a shoot a series of photos using a toy or figurine.
On Christmas eve i received 2 Trexi from my college mate and suddenly i came to think of, “Yes why not i try to do a shooting with these two little thingy?”. From the day after that i started to play around with the Trexi, composing it everywhere to suite the theme and create the world belong to them.
Here are the shots i’ve taken, not really brilliant but i found it was a good experience for me. Explored! :p

Peggy & Renee
Posted by Hong | Under Photography 摄影
Kinda late to post this out but just wanted to share. :p
Went to PC Fair early of the month at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and my objective for this? The PC Fair babes of course, i can always shop with good price at Lowyat plaza without all the hassle and squeeze inside the crowds of PC Fair.
But at the end i didn’t take babes photo as much as possible like how other people did, all i able to get is a chance to join lovely Avira babes Peggy Yong & Renee Hong for dinner. Thanks to my friend or else i wouldn’t have this precious moment. These photos are taken with my newly bought D700 and 50mm f1.8D, we’re sitting beside the blue & reddish light of the restaurant and i tried hard to adjust it back with Aperture2 so yeah.. I post processed most of my photos. :p
p/s: The Fujifilm Instax “Cheki” photos are taken by a friend of mine.

Comic Fiesta 2009
Posted by Hong | Under Event 活动, Photography 摄影
Last Saturday and Sunday went to Comic Fiesta for some cosplay shots. ^^;
I realized that i enjoy seeing the cosplayers walk around outside more than go inside the convention hall. Obviously this year’s Comic Fiesta got more audiences compare to previous year. It’s good to see Malaysia’s ACG circle is growing bigger and bigger. Not too bad for this year’s Comic Fiesta, the only downside i would say is exhibition hall kinda small for the crowd.
Here are some photos i able to get there, not many due to the bad lighting condition.
Need more practice on using the flash.

Super Import Nights 2009
Posted by Hong | Under Event 活动, Photography 摄影
Went to an after market car show at Singapore Expo called “Super Import Nights 2009″.
They got imported cars, imported parts and yeah, imported chicks as well.
Main purpose of going to this show isn’t about the cars over there, i treated it as a good chance to practice my skill on human portraits with tight budget. Hence, what i really concern is the quality and quantity of the models.
Overall i’m quite satisfied, with S$10 i get a chance to snap photos of imported models from USA, Thailand and Taiwan. Not to mention, Nikon as the main sponser of the imaging gives all Nikon camera users special priority to go nearer front of the stage to get better shots.
This post isn’t really related to ACG, but it’s part of my development in my life that i would like to share with everyone.
Enjoy the photos and C&C are welcomed.

Nikon Speedlight SB-600!
Posted by Hong | Under Photography 摄影
Just bought a new toy for my D90, a Nikon Speedlight SB-600.
It’s a light weighted, wireless triggered external flash that supported Nikon’s Creative Lighting System.
Bought this to learn and experiment on Strobism techniques and take the studio alike portraits. :p

Nikon D90
Posted by Hong | Under Figures 模型, Life 生活点滴, Photography 摄影
Nikon D90入手！
为求更高质素的照片，终于我也加入了DSLR行列。
从今以后它将会陪伴我度过学习摄影漫长的路程， 也会用它来拍摄用于部落格里照片。
其实先前已购买了高端小相机 - 松下LUMIX LX3。
但想到要长远的学习摄影是非DSLR不可所以就把它卖掉了。（超败家，不可学也）
可以学习之余还能与大家分享”美图”， 这个嗜好的确是不错！（虽然还是挺爱打game）
Just got my Nikon D90 in hand!
With the hunger of higher quality images, finally i stepped into the DSLR’s side.
From now on it will be with me throughout the long journey of photography, and also will use it to take the photos needed in my blog. Before this i bought Panasonic’s LUMIX LX3. But i sold it out when i felt thought of serious into photography DSLR should be the way. Can learn photography and at the same time can share my “nice photographs” with everyone, what a nice hobby huh? (Although i still like to play games)
